Manley TNT

For the Manley TNT, the “Tube” side is based on a JFET/vacuum tube triode cascode circuit. The solid state side was created with a mix of discrete and op-amp amplification, as well as the Rapture Amp as the final line driver; Manley calls this channel the “Cool” side of the TNT.

Both sides offer independent phantom power, a polarity reversal, a high pass filter (80 Hz for Cool, 60 or 120 Hz for Tube), stepped gain controls (+20 to +70 dB), gain trim (from -10 up to +10 dB, allowing up to +80 dB gain overall) and impedance selection; each side offers numerous values (600, 2400 and 10 kilohms Tube; 2 MEG, 2000, 600 and 300 ohms Cool) and neither suffers from volume changes.
